The race, in words

Legs and stations told different stories: 87% of the field beaten on the runs, 19% on the stations. If there was time left out there, it was on the wall balls, 2:55 behind the median. A harder second half: 1:42 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Berlin gave the field time back: about 3:21 faster than the average race this season, by 1,897 athletes who raced both.
